Official Paper ef County aii City
The Wichita Eagle says Bryan
will be elected president in 1908.
For once, we are ready to shout
Amen to the Eagle's prediction.
The republicans of the country
are now busy asserting that Hearst
is a dead one. They made that
assertion a great many times be
fore. Hearst will continue to make
the trusts of the country nervous.
He is a man of the people and not
even remotely related to the quitter
family.
The time was in Barber county
politics when party majority was
equivalent to party supremacy but
fortunately the rule no longer ap
plies. In county affairs party lines
have been forgotten by a very lib
eral number and the practice seems
to be growing. It used to be th e
custom for only democrats to
scratch the ticket but many repub
licans have at last thrown off the
party collar.
'If expressions count for any
thing, there is no doubt that Hon.
O. P. T. Ewell would have been
elected if he had been a candidate
for any other office but representa
tive. Many republicans have ad
mitted, since the election, that Mr.
Ewell is in every way better quali
fied for the office than the man who
was elected, but they argue that,
this being really the only political
office voted upon in the county,
party regularity demanded that
they vote for their man regardless
of his shortcomings. This is a very
palpaple fallacy and should not go
unchallenged. The legislature is
the first place from which party
narrowness should be eliminated.
The party whip in legislatures and
congresses is what has given the
corporations of the country the
power which they now hold over
the people and they will continue
to be thus entrenched while the
voters permit themselves to be co
erced by the party whip. In the
contest just closed some democrats,
particularly at Kiowa and Hazel-
ton, refused to vote for Mr. Ewell
on account of the high moral views
he entertained. With them party
regularity was as chaff. If demo
crats could forget party lines and
vote against their candidate be
cause he was a clean man, does it
not follow that wise and conscien
tious republicans should have come
to his support? Men who plead
party regularity in this case and at
the same time profess to stand for
moralitv and clean politics cer
tainly have not given the matter
candid thought. We would regret
to be compelled to say that they
take the position that no conscien
tious christian man should be nom
inated for the important office of
representative.
People say that the finest grocer
ies in town are at H. T. Wood
ward's & Son's. Phone 38. .
A DIVIDED HOUSE.
The irresistible conflict in the
republican party is well illustrated
by the speeches of Senator Bever-
idge and Vice President Fairbanks. 1
The senator is a reformer; the vice
president is a "standpatter." Sen
ator Beveridge is out ringing a bell
and shouting: "Wake up, you are
in danger;" Vice President Fair
banks carries a bottle of chloroform
and whispers: "Sleep on; all is
well." And yet they live in the
same state and both call them
selves republicans. Commoner.
Count Boniface has been pried
loose from his American fortune
but Gov. Hoch still freezes on to
that $3000 salary regardless of the
rebuke he got from his people. The
Count and the Governor should
form themselves into a mutual ad
miration society.
The old soldiers at the soldiers'
home seem to be in fear of some
thing or somebody if they fail to
vote the republican ticket. At the
election just passed, practically all
of them voted the republican tick
et. But where they are not de
pendent on anybody it's different.
A large per cent of the old soldiers,
outside of the soldiers'homes,voted
the democratic ticket in Kansas
this year.
A ludicrous political turn has
come to light since the election.
The precincts which were strongly
opposed to the railroad bonds a
year ago, knifed O. P. T. Ewell,
democratsc representative, because
he favored the bonds. Gesner, the
republican for whom they voted,
was no less a surporter of the bonds
than Mr. Ewell. When confront
ed with this fact, the men who
took this inconsistent position,said
that Ewell's influence helped the
proposition carry while Gesner's
cut no ice. Yet they are willing
to send a man with no influence to
the legislature!
The Topeka Capital ridicules
the Kansas City Journal for trying
to work off the old chestnut about
the Standard Oil Company put
ting money in the Kansas cam
paign to defeat Gov. Hoch. It
was the purchasable vote in Leav
enworth and Atchison that save d
Hoch and the Journal's fake is on
ly adding insult to the substantial
republicans of the state who voted
for Harris. The Capital is a staunch
republican paper, has supported
Hoch during two campaigns, and
is wise enough to see that the
Journal's insult is driving republi
cans out of the party. But even
the Capital's defense won't square
the matter with the better element
of republicans, because they hap
pen to know that the Journal's at
tack on them has been authorized
by the state organization.
That the people are thoroughly
aroused on the subject of "graft" in
all its phases is abundantly borne
out by reports coming every day
from all sections of the country.
In Omaha discovery has been made
that a lot of scales in grocery stores
and meat markets weigh "short, "
and investigation revealed that one
manufacturer of "short" scales ad
vertised that the retailer could"sell
goods at cost and make three per
cent profit." As a . result of this
disclosure two firms manufacturing
scales are engaged in a bitter per
sonal warfare, and the city inspect
or of weights and measures has a
choice collection of "short" scales
and measures in his office. From
Providence, R. 1., comes the report
tnat 00,000 giass miiK jars m use
in that state are "short," and the
state sealer of weights and meas
ures charges that all the jars con
demned as "short" in Massachusetts
during the last fifteen years have
been shipped into Rhode Island,
the most of them into Providence.
"Found cans of meats usually
weigh fourteen ounces, and the
"three-pound" buckets of lard are
usually "short" considerably more
than enough to make up for the
cost of the tin bucket. Pint and
quart bottles of medicines, pickles,
preserves, etc., will usually be found
considerably short of honest meas
ure. The revelations of these
things, coming all at once, clearly
shows the temper of the people,
who have grown tired of continued
imposition.
